I honestly would cry tears of shame if it turned out this way though. If we wasted a pick on Harris when Moala, Britton, Robinson, Darius Butler, Mack, Canfield, Brace were on the board it would be a shame. He has had a bad week at Mobile Al and Tupou is probably a 3rd rounder

I also think you have Pat White and Herman Johnson a bit high in the 2nd round......and Troy Kropog has been getting beat like a rented mule all week in the Senior Bowl practices too.

Here is a review of Harris, Johnson and White and their performances in front of scouts this week. I think White has good arm strength, but accuracy is a problem and Johnson just looks terrible at either Guard or RT where he is practicing.

SlidersVictor "Macho" Harris/CB/Virginia Tech: Harris has been anything but macho in Mobile and was consistently beaten in practice Wednesday. He plays very soft in coverage and gave up receptions down the field on a number of occasions.

Herman Johnson/OL/LSU: Johnson has lined up at both his natural position of guard as well as right tackle. His size (6-feet-7, 382 pounds) has not transitioned into the ability to dominate the opposition. Johnson's immobility is obvious to all and at one point he was knocked to the ground due to his inability to move. Much was expected from Johnson this week but he has not responded and his draft stock is plummeting.

Pat White/QB/West Virginia: Scouts wanted to give White a chance to prove he can play quarterback at the next level, but the early returns have not been positive. White struggled throwing the ball. White was not accurate, could not drive deep passes even though he was throwing with the wind; and at this point, he looks like a college signal caller who may be better off at a different position in the NFL.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ay1/index.html

Rey Maualuga/LB/USC: Maualuga looked rusty today, both physically and mentally. He's not in the best of shape and was very hesitant to make decisions on the field. Maualuga seemed to get his bearings as the day proceeded, but his play was not reminiscent of a potential top-five pick.

No surprises here...and Lil Animal will not only be taken first, he'll also go in the top 10. As will Wells. And Jenkins will be in the mix as well.

As for the Steelers, why are we constantly mocked taking CB's with our #1? Ain't gonna happen this year, either...

suit if you remember last year, there were tons of mocks trying to plug a cb into the steelers spot.... ...i guess with mcfaddens contract, and townsends age may have something to do with it...i'm more concerned with FS considering clarks, contract,age,health, and lack of depth.

# I heard Virginia Tech corner Macho Harris struggled earlier in the day in 1v1s, but I thought he had a very good practice today, making it as my defensive MVP. He picked off a few balls in red zone drills. Against Manuel Johnson, he was very instinctive in reading Johnson's routes as he allowed extremely little separation on outs and curls. He had a nice pass break up against Derrick Williams and displayed impressive anticipation.

must just be inconsistent....

That was day 1. I too saw White on day 2 practice and they were saying how he "spins" the ball well. As a pure QB I think White is a 5th round pick and he hasnt worked out as a WR to know what he potential is there.
